Your energy leaks into everything.
When you’re at peace, you forgive easily and spread warmth. When you’re hurting, you criticize, judge, and see darkness everywhere.
You can only give what you hold inside …. love or hate.

Watching my two cats sleep: one is sleeping like a yoga master in deep meditation, the other is passed out like it lost a fight with gravity. Same house, wildly different life choices. 🐱😴🐱

Writers know this feeling: when a reader’s message melts your heart and reminds you why you write in the first place. I’ve been buried in my day job lately, but notes like these make me want to drop everything and dive back into my stories. 🖋️✨

Jacob Elordi delivers a hauntingly touching performance as the Creature in Frankenstein, capturing the monster’s intelligence, sensitivity, and simmering rage. He brings a tragic vulnerability to the role, making it both heartbreaking and deeply unsettling.

That hollow, pathetic feeling when someone achieves what you couldn’t, like writing a book, showcasing their art, starting a business, and all you can do is mock it. The insult is a cheap balm to soothe the sting of your own inadequacy. A fleeting comfort for the ache of feeling like a failure.

Body, forgive me—the temptation was just too great. 😭
I’m on Chapter 5 of Virginia Giuffre #NobodysGirl, her story completely grips me. It’s meant to be a memoir, but it reads like a novel, or an entire season of Law & Order.
I can’t imagine how she survived it all and still built a family so different from her childhood.

A client asked me why I still make time to write novels despite my demanding job (branding | advertising)
My answer? I need to feed my dog and cat.
So, please buy my books and help me keep these two gorgeous freeloaders happy! 🐾📚

It’s been a while since I worked on a #branding system and guidelines. It’s like crafting a technical book—documenting the birth of a brand and how to breathe life into it.
Some call it the brand bible; others, the brand police guidebook. Whatever the name, this is the essence of a brand’s life.
